Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs have clinched the number one seed in the AFC with only a single defeat this season. With just one game left against the Denver Broncos, their seeding will not change regardless of the outcome. However, even as the reigning Super Bowl champions aim for a three-peat, their offense has been severely lacking in production this season.
On Monday, Dan Orlvosky, NFL analyst and former Detroit Lions quarterback, assessed the current teams that have made it to the playoffs and gave his two cents on the most and least dangerous teams in each conference, if their QBs were not counted. He ranked the teams solely based on their other offensive starts, play-callers and schemes.
"And then in the AFC, I would probably tell you that I would fear Baltimore's offense the most. And honestly, I think I would fear the Chiefs offense the least."

Before he spoke about the AFC, Orlovsky said that in the NFC, the Lions would be the most feared offense, while the LA Rams would be the least scary without their QB, Matthew Stafford.
The Chiefs have been a curious case this season, as everyone acknowledges that Mahomes and his offense aren't what they used to be. And yet, the team is 15-1, having won many of their games merely by one score.
Terry Bradshaw does not think Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs will three-peat this season
There has been a lot of conversation about the Chiefs becoming the first and only team in the NFL to have won three Super Bowls in a row. Judging by their record so far this season, it seems likely that they could do it.
But Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw does not think Patrick Mahomes and his squad can achieve this feat.
“They’re not going to win three in a row,” Bradshaw said on FOX NFL Sunday. “See how quickly they’re getting rid of the ball now? See how quick, quick, quick, quick, quick. I just think they’re gonna load up against a team like Buffalo, they’re gonna load up against a team like Baltimore, and those are the two teams that can beat them.
"And I think it’s gonna happen, even though it’s gonna be in Kansas City.”
Can Patrick Mahomes and his Chiefs prove him wrong and bring home the fifth Super Bowl for the franchise?
